When I was growing up I didn't have any relatives nearby except my grandmother. My father's relatives were all half way across the country and my mother hated all of her relatives. Plus there were none near my age. I did grow up seeing situations where being intimate with cousins was common. I guess that helped to color my thinking that if I had the possibility of getting with a cousin, I would do it without giving it another thought. My friends seem to feel and do the same.

A few years ago, the teenage kids of a guy I worked with went to a family reunion out of state. The daughter was telling me, after they got back, about how she and her brothers were all getting it on with their cousins at the reunion. The guy I worked with was not happy about it, but his parents who were actually there, were not at all concerned.
